The New 2016 2017 and used 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2.5L 2500 cc Isuzu D-Max combines excellent value, versatility and stylishness into an affordable package. This model has been designed to meet the needs of the cost-conscious motorist who wants a vehicle that gets the job done with minimal fuss.

Available with a manual 4×2 transmission, the 2.5L features a high-torque engine to help move your loads effectively and efficiently. The 2.5L shares most of the styling and comfort of the 3.0L version so you will get to enjoy a high standard of motoring as well.

Alloy Pistons: D-Max pistons are made of Isuzu’s High Performance Alloy, with Thermal Flow Cooling channels that will not expand despite intense heat. This prevents the pistons from causing friction between the walls of the engine, thereby preserving the condition of the engine longer.

Isuzu ute and bakkie is Diesel only and is tough as nails, but well-finished and not lacking in creature comforts, with the 2012 version Isuzu has Toyota’s venerable HiLux Vigo firmly in its sights with the D-MAX. The new D-MAX ute, in either cab-chassis, single or twin-cab form, is worth consideration as a rugged work-mate, for recreational use, or as a dual-purpose family car.

Like its ‘badged’ competitor, the Chevrolet Chevy Colorado, the D-MAX shows good road manners for a ladder-framed, high-steppin’, ‘light truck’. There’s also ample power in the diesel, class-leading fuel consumption and multi-tonne towing capacity (in the 4×4) if the D-MAX has to turn itself to weekend duties ferrying the family around, or heading up the highway with the off-road bikes or boat in tow.

Under the bonnet is Isuzu’s 4JJ1 3.0-litre common-rail, direct injection turbo-diesel producing a healthy 360Nm from 1800-2800rpm (in manual). In the automatic, peak torque of 333Nm arrives at a lower 1600-3200rpm. Peak power of 120kW arrives at 3600rpm. It’s an unstressed, proven unit with roller rocker arms, variable geometry system (which tunes the turbo’s air intake), and stainless steel timing chain for durability, lower maintenance costs and long life.

Fuel consumption figures for the D-MAX 4×2 puts it near the head of the 3.0 litre one-tonne ute class, and in 4×4s, D-MAX takes the cigar for one-tonners at 8.1 l/100km (combined cycle).

With a heavy-duty low range, limited slip diff, steep approach and departure angles, steel guards protecting sump and transfer-case and hefty ground clearance, the D-MAX makes light work of the four-wheel driving. The D-MAX range are powered by either the 2.5 litre or the 3.0 litre diesel – there’s no petrol variant in the range (which may raise some eyebrows).
